Stress from family issues may make you want to pack up and move alone to a private island.
You may be on the verge of estrangement from your family.
Perhaps, you’ve already cut ties, but you feel a sense of loss and a shattered identity without your family involved in your daily life.
The legacy of family dysfunction stops with you.
Family can be the most significant source of joy or the greatest source of sorrow in your life.
Families are complicated systems. Conventional wisdom encourages you to stay in gridlock, even under generational, dysfunctional family patterns.
An internal alarm has gone off inside your head, causing you to sense that something in your family is awry.
Sustaining the current situation in your family does not seem like the best option.
Enough is enough!
No more passively condoning toxic family behavior in honor of:
“Well, you only get one father.”
“You need to respect your elders.”
“Don’t rock the boat.”
“That’s how they’ve always been. They’ll never change. The sooner you accept that, the better.”
All the above adages don’t ring true, and you are tired of settling for how your family behaves.
Family traditions carry across generations.
Families are our first exposure to socialization as little ones.
What we observe in our family can carry on far beyond our childhood.
Some family traditions are not worth keeping.
Instead of settling for dysfunction and negative behavior, eliminate the root cause of strife in your family.
Therapy helps create a new dynamic.
Through therapy, families learn new and better ways to overcome old family dynamics.
Family therapy helps you deal with trauma collectively or helps bolster a troubled family member in crisis.
Starting therapy is one of the best things to do when your family is experiencing difficulty.
In therapy, you’ll set goals both individually and as a family and work on ways to accomplish them together.
The process of therapy starts healing emotional wounds, coming to understand one another better, and restoring a sense of harmony and family cohesion.
Let’s work to eliminate your family crisis.
Whether it’s you, your partner, a child, a sibling, or a parent who’s in crisis, family therapy helps everyone communicate better and develop new interacting patterns.
